Let's take a look at the difference between physical properties and chemical properties. Physical properties are properties that describe the physical characteristics of a substance and not how the substance behaves chemically. Let's take a look at nine physical properties. Physical and Chemical Changes.

When more children hear the word, “physics,” there may be a disassociation with the word, fun. However, the principles of physics, like science, are applied in our everyday living. Physics for children can be playful, entertaining, and budget-friendly. These physics experiments will show you how. What is Physics?
